Surreal!! Going Home on Day #275 after Transplant!

Most things from our apartment were taken to Gilead Lake on Wednesday by sister, Anne and George. We didn't even see them because Ron had three doctor appointments. The truck was fully loaded, and a hallway of boxes etc. was loaded into their car. (by them). My mission is to fit everything else into the Edge tonight and tomorrow morning. I can do it! Wednesday's appointments were exhausting as we confronted emotional issues, symptom management, and the news that the loss of vision in his left eye is permanent. Ron also had his full pulmonary function evaluation but we don't know the results yet. So, all of this rolled into a long day 8:30-3:30 at the hospital. Today he only had physical therapy at our apartment. His physical progress is moving along well now. He walks unaided in the apartment, and mostly uses the walker outside but is transitioning to a cane. We will be home for 10 days before return appointments, so we are planning to see if progress can continue without a physical therapist...just using guide sheets given to us. A therapist could be prescribed again at the June 4 appointment. We are optimistic and so happy tobe moving home-home to Gilead Lake. Love to all of you for sharing this two year journey with us. We never felt alone, and whether you have been a reader of the blog,or one who sent cards or notes or prayers or good wishes or cookies or flowers or food or texts or emails,or inquired about our well-being to our family members, etc., etc., we are thankful and indebted to you for making a difference.
